Xie Sen returned to his apartment, washed the wild fruits that Eagle Beast had given him, put them on a plate, and sat on the sofa, eating while watching the news.
The headline on the top news was "Chili, new life!"
Xie Sen thought of the reporter's question in the hospital parking lot, and had a bad suspicion in his mind. He clicked on it and quickly read the news. The general meaning of the content was that peppers can really increase the fertility rate. Don't believe it? Just look at Xie Sen and you will know.
Xie Sen rolled his eyes. His pregnancy had nothing to do with Chili, okay? As for the 100% winning rate, it should be just a coincidence.
He scrolled down the comments and saw many people were very enthusiastic about the chili peppers and were discussing where to buy them. Some lamented that they were not available, while others said that they were in great demand. Those who got them were reselling them, and the price on the black market was already over 10,000 yuan per pound.
Xie Sen was shocked. Isn't this too much of a profit? He went to Fuyou Supermarket when it was selling peppers. The supermarket priced it at 3,000 yuan per kilogram.
He was reading the comments when his bracelet rang. It was Ma Qun's call. He picked up the call and heard Ma Qun's voice: "Asen, did I disturb you?"
"No, what's the matter, Dean Ma?"
Ma Qun asked: "Have you ever eaten chili peppers before you got pregnant?"
Xie Sen realized what he meant and said affirmatively: "Chili peppers are good for the body, but they have nothing to do with my pregnancy. What they say online is too exaggerated."
Ma Qun sighed, "The birth rate is gradually declining, and no solution has been found to improve it. Some antisocial people have proposed the theory of human extinction to cause panic. At the press conference, I specifically mentioned that chili peppers contain ingredients related to fertility in order to give people confidence. I didn't expect them to be so crazy about chili peppers."
Xie Sen glanced at his belly. The public's attitude was probably related to the sudden announcement of his pregnancy.
He thought for a moment, "Dean Ma, compared to the total population of Brandt Star, the Institute has too few people and too little land. If we rely solely on the Institute to produce food, the amount is too small. Why not allow the people to grow plants as well?"
Ma Qun: "We tried it a few years ago, but the land on Brandt is not suitable for growing plants. The research institute was able to grow plants successfully because they had special fertilizers. The fertilizers were not fixed. The researchers observed the growth of the plants every day and adjusted the fertilizers according to the changes in the growth conditions. It cannot be promoted."
Xie Sen smiled and said, "It's different now than it was before. Maybe the geology has changed? Didn't you say before that peppers can change the soil and can be grown even without nutrients?"
Ma Qun sighed, "We tried to use the mature peppers now as seeds. After growing them in the laboratory, we transplanted them to the land outside the institute, but the planting failed. But we are glad that they can grow in the current pepper fields."
Xie Sen was stunned for a moment, then he realized that only the plants exchanged by the system had super vitality and could grow in the harsh soil of Brandt Star. They would not grow well unless they were planted in land improved by the system plants.
In this way, as long as a piece of land is planted with system plants, it is equivalent to ordinary land and can be used continuously.
He opened the system panel and found that he had more than 8,000 energy points. There were dozens of seeds in a pepper. If he exchanged one hundred peppers, he would have several thousand seeds, which was enough to plant a lot of land.
As he was thinking, Ma Qun spoke hesitantly, "I have another thing to ask you. I want to cooperate with you. Your peppers are very special and have strong vitality. They can improve the soil quality. If people want to grow them, they can only use your pepper seeds."
He paused and said, "According to our experimental results, after planting the peppers you gave us, that piece of land and the nearby land can be used to plant other plants. We plan to auction your pepper seeds to agricultural product companies and maintain long-term cooperation with them."
Xie Sen couldn't help but ask: "Are there any farm product companies now?" There aren't even edible plants, so even if there were, they should have gone bankrupt long ago, right?
Ma Qun smiled gently and said, "No, but it will be available soon. After discussing with you, if you are willing to provide peppers, the government will issue an announcement later to encourage the establishment of agricultural product companies so that ordinary people can also produce plants. Smart businessmen will realize that this is a huge business opportunity, and many people will definitely start companies."
Xie Sen thought for a moment and asked, "I want to open one too, is that ok?"
"Of course," Ma Qun said with a smile, "I was just about to make a suggestion to you. You are graduating this year and you are still young, so it is a good time to start a business. You are a plant major, so it is perfect for you to start an agricultural product company."
Xie Sen smiled and said, "I promise, I will try my best to provide more chili peppers." He paused for a moment to avoid surprising others, and then said, "I have accumulated quite a lot during this period of time. I haven't eaten much, which is just right."
Ma Qun: "Don't eat it. The institute will send you 10 kilograms of peppers at the beginning of every month. There will be no delay."
Xie Sen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep them all."
Ma Qun asked, "How many are there? The peppers you gave me before have more than thirty seeds each. To ensure that the pepper yield can reach 300 kilograms, we need 500 seedlings, which means that one family needs 17 peppers."
Xie Sen calculated in his mind. If he took out too many peppers at once, it would make people suspicious. "It's about a hundred. I think each family should provide at least a thousand seedlings. This will be more attractive. The peppers I have are one thousand per family, so I can provide three families."
Ma Qun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll send the official message right away."
After hanging up the phone, Xie Sen registered an agricultural product company using his own identity. However, after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a name for the company. Finally, he changed his mind and filled in "Peony".
Plants come from the system, and Adam’s original form is peony, so this name is the most suitable.
After registration is completed, submit the review application.
Next, he searched online for land for sale near the apartment. The apartment was located in the suburbs, and there were still a lot of vacant land when he bought the land, but now there is none left.
There is a piece of land close to the apartment, located between the apartment and the border of the wasteland forest, 30 kilometers away on each side.
He checked the price of the land and found that it was only 2,000 per square meter, the cheapest land in Star City. He looked up relevant information and found that the land had been sold for almost three years, but because it was too close to the Desolate Forest, no one bought it.
Xie Sen smiled. He was not afraid of the forest. Moreover, he was so far away from the forest and there were troops guarding the border, so he was not worried.
He calculated the price. There were 52 acres of land, about 35,000 square meters, and the total price was 70 million.
He opened the anchor's backstage and found that there was still more than 500 million yuan in his account balance. He had spent a lot of money on building a house and buying equipment some time ago, and he had been using it normally, but the money was still increasing steadily.
He thought about how when he first came to this world, he couldn't even afford to take a bus, and thought it was hard to make money. But after a few months, he became so rich that he thought making money was easy.
He touched his right shoulder. It was all thanks to Adam. If it weren’t for his affinity, he wouldn’t have been able to be friends with the contracted beast. Without Adam’s energy, the contracted beast wouldn’t have been so smart and knew how to do a live broadcast.
He did not hesitate, nor did he buy only part of the land like last time. Instead, he contacted the land dealer directly and bought all 52 acres.
The other party thought he had heard wrongly and confirmed with him again and again. Knowing that he was serious, fearing that he would go back on his word, he quickly transferred the land ownership and completed all the relevant procedures. Xie Sen then paid the money in one lump sum.
After Xie Sen bought the land, he asked the Eagle Beast to take him around the land. The land was very hard and didn't look like it was suitable for growing plants. He thought about it and contacted the construction company to ask them to build a fence around the land and turn the land over.
After making the arrangements, he rode the flying eagle beast home.
Eaglemon landed in front of the apartment, spread its wings, and touched the ground with the tips of its wings: "Asen, don't jump, just walk along my wings."
Xie Sen rubbed the feathers on its back: "Thank you." He pushed himself up with his hands and stood up on the back of the flying eagle beast.
The flying eagle beast was huge, over three meters tall. When Xie Sen stood on it, he was even higher off the ground. At first glance, it looked very dangerous.
"Asen!" Maine came out of the apartment and shouted nervously, "Don't move!"
He didn't see Xie Sen in the apartment, and was walking out while checking the location. He didn't expect to see this scene when he came out. He strode to the wings of the flying eagle beast and stretched out his hand to Xie Sen: "Walk slower."
Xie Sen smiled and said, "It's okay." He walked down along the wing, and Maine followed him to prevent him from falling.
When he was able to touch Xie Sen, Maine directly carried Xie Sen down vertically, then slid his hands under Xie Sen's knees and changed to holding him horizontally.
"Where did you go?" Maine asked as he carried Xie Sen to the living room.
Xie Sen kicked his feet: "Put me down, stop hugging me all the time."
Maine walked to the sofa and put him down, then poured him a glass of water. Xie Sen drank the water and told him about starting a company and buying land.
Maine looked at the photo of the land, and after a moment's silence, he said, "The area is too large, and manual planting is too slow and tiring. There are almost no farm tools on the market. Huo Feng should have the old farm tool design drawings. I will improve them and try to make the planting mechanized."
Xie Sen smiled and took his arm: "You and I are thinking the same thing."
If we rely on manual cultivation, it will be tiring and inefficient.
Maine held his hand and gently pinched his fingertips: "I will follow up on the land situation, and you will make the specific plans. Remember to tell me when you go out next time."
Xie Sen rested his chin on his shoulder: "Yeah."
At ten o'clock the next morning, Mu Lin and Gu Luo came to Xie Sen's apartment, and Xie Sen personally welcomed them to the living room.
Mu Lin sat down casually on the sofa. Gu Luo took out a series of instruments. Xie Sen looked at them curiously, but couldn't tell what they all did.
Gu Luo smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. We will soon be able to measure all your values. Um... we just need to draw some blood at the end."
Maine frowned, "No."
Gu Luo smiled helplessly. He had expected this result. He advised: "One drop will be enough. It will definitely not affect your body."
Maine was about to say something, but Xie Sen pulled his hand and then reached out to Gu Luo: "Do you have a clean syringe?"
Mu Lin and Gu Luo helped him a lot, and they were the representatives of the contracted beasts. They had always advocated the protection of the contracted beasts, and the research they did was also for the contracted beasts and their owners. He didn't mind this little favor.
Gu Luo took out a new syringe, disinfected it and handed it to Xie Sen. Xie Sen took it, pinched the needle tip, carefully poked the top of his index finger, then pinched the fingertip and squeezed out a drop of blood: "Okay, how do I collect it?"
Gu Luo held a small box and put the blood beads into the box with his finger skin: "Thank you."
Xie Sen smiled and said, "You're welcome." He returned the syringe to him, took a piece of paper from the coffee table, and was about to wipe his hands when Maine pulled his hand over and put it in his mouth.
A warm touch passed between them. It was Maine licking them.
Xie Sen's body trembled slightly, his heart beat wildly, and his face quickly turned red. He wanted to withdraw his hand, but Maine grabbed his wrist. Maine looked at him with deep and dark eyes, and only let go of his hand when there was no trace of blood.
Xie Sen quickly retracted his hand, feeling extremely embarrassed. He did not even dare to look at Mu Lin and Gu Luo. The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he became. He kicked Maine's calf, moved to the edge, and put some distance between them.
When there is no one around, be sure to remind Maine that you are not allowed to flirt with him when there are people around!
Mu Lin raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Luo. Gu Luo glared at him and smiled at Xie Sen: "I'll measure you now. Don't be nervous. It will be done soon."
Xie Sen coughed dryly: "Okay."
Since there was no inspection cabin, this inspection was slower than at the research institute, and three different instruments were used to complete the inspection.
Gu Luo carefully wrote down the values, then looked at them again and said with a smile, "You are in good health."
Xie Sen nodded. He had a feeling too. Except for the day when he felt a little uncomfortable due to the impact of the aura of the bond, he had always been comfortable and energetic. His physical fitness was much better than when he first arrived.
Gu Luo put away the equipment and sat next to Mu Lin. Mu Lin casually put his hand on his shoulder. He tilted his head to glance at him but said nothing.
Xie Sen thought, these two people are indeed a couple.
Mu Lin said, "There is one more thing I want to remind you of this time. The Contracted Beast Research Institute and the Plant Research Institute in Sun City and Moon City have simultaneously applied to come to Star City for academic exchanges. The application has been approved, and the exchange meeting will be held on the 15th and will last for five days."
Xie Sen immediately understood: "Is it for the contracted beast and chili?"
Mu Lin nodded: "The Contracted Beast Research Institute of Liangcheng applied for it not long after your live broadcast room opened, but I rejected it. After the Chili Press Conference, the Plant Research Institute of Liangcheng also applied, and it was a highest-level application issued through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which could not be rejected."
Xie Sen nodded: "You reminded me on purpose, do you think they will come after me?"
"Of course they will look for you," Mu Lin said seriously, "You have a very high affinity for your contracted beasts, and every time you go out you always bring back a contracted beast, and it's healthy and unresisting. They have been curious for a long time."
He paused and said, "The three cities have been coexisting for many years and have always maintained friendly relations, but each city is independent and does not share resources. They may not ignore you."
Xie Sen understood that these three cities that were inherited from the tribe were called cities, but in fact they were equivalent to three countries.
He nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention to it."
Mu Lin and Gu Luo did not stay and left after finishing their business.
Xie Sen accompanied Maine to the second floor. Maine improved the agricultural tool program while he sat on a stool next to him, watching the live broadcast room and reading the news at the same time.
As he was watching, Adam's hesitant voice sounded in his mind: "Ah, Asen..."
Xie Sen was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked: "Are you okay? Didn't you say that the self-inspection would be completed in 50 hours? It's already exceeded the time."
A Dan whispered, "I'm fine. I finished my self-examination a long time ago. I just didn't contact you."
Xie Sen was puzzled: "Why?"
A Dan was struggling, "I don't know how to tell you." He paused, and suddenly raised his voice, "Asen, no matter what happens, you must stay calm and don't panic!"
Xie Sen became nervous: "Is there something wrong with my body? Is the safety time shortened?"
"No... but it will have an impact," A Dan spoke intermittently, and finally couldn't help but said in one breath, "I found that there was another human energy body in your body before. I thought there was something wrong with me, but the self-examination results showed that everything was normal."
"After the self-examination, I checked again and confirmed that there is indeed another human energy body in your body. After thinking about it, there is only one possibility...you are pregnant."
At this point, it quickly said, "Asen, don't be afraid. I know you can't accept being pregnant as a boy, but your body is female now. It's actually normal to be pregnant, and having a baby is something to be happy about!"
Xie Sen was very touched. A Dan always spoke directly. He was so entangled that it was obvious that he was really worried about him: "I knew it the day before yesterday. I'm not afraid."
"What?" Dan shouted, "You knew about this the day before yesterday?"
"Well, after you check yourself."
A Dan yelled in frustration, "Ahhh, so all my worrying from yesterday until now has been in vain? I'm so stupid, really!"
Xie Sen laughed: "You just care about me too much, thank you, A Dan is very smart, not stupid at all!"
A Dan was deeply moved: "Asen, you are the best master in the world. You are really great, beautiful, kind and intelligent!"
Xie Sen: "... Stop praising me. I feel embarrassed. I just hope you're okay."
Dan chuckled, "Oh, right, there's good news. I can sense the remaining water energy."
Xie Sen's eyes lit up and he switched to the interstellar map: "Where is it?"
According to the location described by Adam, Xie Sen gestured with his fingers on the virtual screen and finally stopped at a position slightly closer to Bibru, relative to the planet where the Yamu continent was located. There was a planet marked as a resource star - Wusi.
Maine's voice came from beside his ear: "That is the resource star belonging to Moon City. Is there any energy there?"
Xie Sen nodded, and Maine put his hand on his right shoulder, puzzled, "All five petals are lit, do you still need energy?"
Xie Sen spread his hands: "The water energy has been dispersed. The remaining one-fifth is on Wusi Star. If it belongs to Yuecheng, I don't know if there is a way to get there."
Maine: “You can’t go.”
Xie Sen turned his head: "Why?"
Maine's eyes fell on his abdomen: "Pregnant women are not suitable for interstellar travel. The huge vibration during the jump will bring danger to pregnant women."
Xie Sen patted his belly casually and said, "It takes almost a year from pregnancy to birth. It's too long. I'm in good health now, so it's a good time to go now."
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. If his belly got bigger, it would be inconvenient for him to go out.
Maine grabbed his hand and said in a deep voice: "No, the baby is very fragile three months ago. If it is hit, it will easily cause miscarriage, and it will also affect the body of the pregnant man."
Xie Sen looked at him suspiciously: "You're talking nonsense, right? How do you know? I feel so good now, even better than the last time I left Brandt Star."
He took back the wood energy and most of the water energy, and his physical fitness improved a lot.
Maine said seriously: "I didn't say anything nonsense." He lowered his head and kissed Xie Sen on the lips, "I can't let you take risks."
He turned on the bracelet and clicked on a folder. Xie Sen took a look and saw that the folder was called "Precautions during Pregnancy". When Maine clicked on it, he was shocked to find that it was full of information related to pregnancy.
Maine skillfully clicked on the third video, watched it for two seconds, then scrolled back to the one-third position and stopped.
The gentle female in the video said: "Pregnant men must be very careful in the first three months. The baby is very small at that time, and the belly has not changed much, as if it is not pregnant. However, the baby is very fragile at this time, and it is the most prone to miscarriage. You must be careful to protect it."
Maine pressed the pause button and clicked on a text document. There was a hospital logo on the upper left corner. Maine clicked on a marked paragraph of text. Xie Sen looked at it and saw that it was similar to the one in the video.
Xie Sen looked at Maine's serious expression, and felt like laughing and touched. He leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, then turned around and closed the interface: "There is so much information, you didn't read it all, did you..."
Returning to the previous page, he saw the baby-raising tutorial next to the folder, paused, and looked at Maine in surprise.
Maine coughed lightly and turned off the bracelet: "I've checked it all. You are not suitable for interstellar travel now."
Xie Sen thought about it. There were still three years of safety period, and there were still two years after one year. As long as he knew the specific location, it would not be difficult to recover the energy. Moreover, within a year, he could accumulate more energy to activate the plants, so he didn't have to worry about Adam not being able to sense the energy due to insufficient energy.
Xie Sen said, "Okay, I won't go now. I'll go after I give birth. During this time, I'll get a pass to Wusi Star."
Maine hugged him with a gentle expression: "I'll find a way."
Xie Sen reached out and pinched his chin, looking him face to face: "What's going on with that childcare course? Do you want to sign up for a course to learn how to take care of a child?"
Maine grabbed his hand and nibbled on it. "When I was looking up information, I saw someone say that raising a child is tiring. I want to learn first." He looked focused. "I'm too young and have no experience, but I will take good care of you and the child."
Xie Sen couldn't stand it. He thought, how could there be such a good man! He leaned in and kissed Maine. He kissed him hard. Maine held his neck and kissed him back. After a while, they let go.
Xie Sen panted, Maine's fingers brushed across his lips, his voice slightly hoarse: "You seem to be more sensitive."
Xie Sen's face turned slightly red, he also felt it, just a kiss, his body felt soft and hot, he couldn't help but complain, this female body was too sensitive!
He turned his head, leaned on Maine's shoulder and grabbed his left hand, avoiding looking at him: "Maine, I am so lucky to meet you."
Maine put his right hand around his waist, lowered his head and kissed his cheek, from forehead to chin: "I am so lucky."
The light from outside the window poured into the room, clean and bright, and the child curled up in the dark corner gradually disappeared in the light.
Maine thought that if it weren't for Xie Sen, he would never have dared to dream that one day he would hug his lover who was carrying his child like this. This was a beauty he could never have imagined.
Xie Sen calmed his heartbeat. After a while, he sat up, smiled and patted Maine's face: "No need to read so much information. We can read and learn together in the future."
At night, the two sat side by side to learn how to be parents. As they were watching, Adan's voice suddenly rang out: "Asen, the position of water energy has changed."
Xie Sen was stunned and opened the map: "Where are we now?"
Adan mentioned a place, and Xie Sen looked over and said, "It's closer to the Brant Star."
Dan: "Well, it's easier to sense."
Xie Sen smiled: "That's perfect. I can't leave Brandt for now. The mobile carrier must not be too big. I will sense the location every day and pay attention to the news of nearby planets to see if there are any special events."
Dan: "Well, I'll try again tomorrow morning."
